FAQs

Q: Does Levitate write back to Dynamics?

A: Levitate does not push contact data changes back to Dynamics. However, if writebacks are enabled, engagement activities (emails, notes, calls, texts, and handwritten cards) are logged back into Dynamics. Dynamics remains your source of truth for contact information.

Q: Can multiple users connect?

A: Yes, but only one user is used for syncing data.

Q: Why aren't contacts showing up?

A: Contacts must:

  • Have sufficient data
  • Be assigned to a mapped user

Q: Can we use custom fields?

A: Yes—custom fields can be used for both tags and key facts.
